Defect description

ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE MAIN STAND IS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME WITH TWO BRACKETS, NUTS AND BOLTS. THE NUTS ARE SPOT-WELDED TO THE BRACKETS. IF CLEARANCE EXISTS BETWEEN THE NUT AND BRACKET, THE SPOT WELDS MAY BE BROKEN WHEN THE BOLT IS TORQUED.

Safety risk

THE MAIN STAND COULD PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY DETACH FROM THE FRAME, INTERFERING WITH OR DAMAGING THE REAR WHEEL, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. A COMPLETELY DETACHED STAND FALLING ON THE ROADWAY ALSO CREATES A HAZARD FOR OTHER VEHICLES.
